advanced german (DSD II)

14-18 year olds

Willkommen to the 2024/25 school year at the Kinderschule!

class description

This community based heritage learning class is a full immersion German program with an emphasis on academic German which will bring our students on par with the German language skills of an "Abiturient" (a student who finished High School). At the same time, it is important to us that our students not only learn the language, but also the culture, and become part of our community. This class is taught online (students may take this class at the Haus - bring headphones!).

Meeting times

Classes meet ONLINE Saturdays (see detailed calendar here) from either 9-10:30am (Session I) or 10:45-12:15pm (Session II). Your child(ren) can take the class at our Haus (bring headphones!), and help out as an assistant with the younger students afterwards (school day ends at 12pm).

Class placement

This Advanced German class is for students on a B1+ level, who are older than 14. If you are not sure about your child(ren)'s level, please have them take this short placement test and send us the results.

If your child(ren) have been enrolled with us in the school year 2023/24, and have passed the DSD I exam, this is the right class. Students generally take this class for at least a full year before they prepare for the actual exam and many students take this class for two years before taking the exam.

If your child(ren) are not yet on the B1+ level, we recommend signing up for our in-person Saturday classes, and/or our Afternoon classes.
